Hi all I'm the new owner of a 1.2 sxi which unfortunately has a blown hg but only paid £70 for her so I couldn't really let it go I work in a body shop and have been round cars all my life but iv never really touched the engines so I'm looking for any help and guidance I want to do all the work myself and keep costs as low as possible

Have you thought about changing the engine with a replacement?

If it's only the head gasket they are easy on the 1.2 you can get the kit cheap just fit a new cam belt kit and water pump

Yep thats what's needed Jamie and new oil as his will be no good but he may aswell just get the oil filter aswell as they are like £4 so it ain't worth arguing for the price
